    摘要: A mobile communications system receiver has improved synchronization and channel estimation for receiving a transmitted signal passing through a radio channel. A processor receives and samples the transmitted signal for a plurality of timing hypotheses. A channel estimator hypothesizes unknown symbols at a pilot cluster of the sampled signal and estimates the radio channel of the pilot cluster for each hypothesized symbol sequence. The estimator determines an error corresponding to each hypothesized symbol sequence using the sampled signal, the estimated radio channel and the hypothesized symbols and determines actual timing estimates and actual radio channel estimates by selecting the radio channel estimates associated with the hypothesized symbols and the timing and hypothesis that minimizes the error.

    摘要: According to the present invention, the effects of the transmission medium on transmitted information symbols are estimated separately from other effects, e.g., those associated with receive and transmit filters, using knowledge of the pulse shaping. The medium response estimate is then used to detect information symbols. Previously, receivers had used estimates of the composite channel to detect symbols. This, however, assumed uncorrelated noise, which is not always the case.

    摘要: Techniques for adapting detection schemes used in receivers for receiving radio signals are described. The received signal is processed to determine, for example, an amount of time dispersion present in the radio channel. Based on this determination an appropriate detection scheme is selected for detecting the transmitted symbols. Various techniques for determining the dispersive or non-dispersive nature of the channel are described.

    摘要: Information symbols spread using orthogonal or bi-orthogonal codewords are assigned a unique scramble mask that is taken from a set of scramble masks having selected correlation properties. The set of scramble masks is selected such that the correlation between the modulo-2 sum of two scramble masks with any codeword is a constant magnitude, independent of the codeword and the individual masks being compared. In one embodiment, when any two masks are summed using modulo-2 arithmetic, the Walsh transformation of that sum results in a maximally flat Walsh spectrum. For cellular radio telephone systems using subtractive CDMA demodulation techniques, a two-tier ciphering system ensures security at the cellular system level by using a pseudorandomly generated code key to select one of the scramble masks common to all of the mobile stations in a particular cell. Also, privacy at the individual mobile subscriber level is ensured by using a pseudorandomly generated ciphering key to encipher individual information signals before the scrambling operation.

    摘要: Teachings presented herein offer the performance advantages of sequence estimation for received signal symbol detection, while simultaneously providing potentially significant reductions in computational overhead. Initial demodulation of a received signal identifies a reduced number of candidate symbol values for all or a subset of a sequence of symbols represented in a received signal. A sequence estimation process, e.g., an MLSE process, constrains its state spaces to the reduced number of candidate symbols values, rather than considering all possible symbol values.

    摘要: The teachings presented herein improve the processing of individual signals of interest included in a received composite signal by computing combining weights and/or signal quality estimates for each signal of interest, e.g., for linear equalization, based on either shared or non-shared correlation estimates. As a non-limiting advantage, the use of shared correlation estimates reduces computational loading as compared to the processing load that would be needed for computing non-shared correlation estimates for all signals of interest. As a further non-limiting advantage, the conditional use of shared and non-shared correlation estimates provides for the use of non-shared correlation estimates where signal characteristic(s) of one or more of the signals of interest warrant such usage, e.g., for one or more high-rate signals of interest.

    摘要: According to the teachings presented herein, a method and apparatus for communication signal processing advantageously use a mix of parametric and non-parametric correlation estimation in communication signal processing. Non-parametric estimation generates an “overall” correlation estimate for a received communication signal, and parametric estimation generates a “component” correlation estimate. The component correlation estimate is removed from the overall correlation estimate to form a partial correlation estimate that is used to process the received communication signal at least initially, such as in a pre-equalization stage. The overall and component correlation estimates are generated as impairment and/or data correlation estimates.

    摘要: Teachings presented herein combine the relative simplicity of equalization with the performance of maximum likelihood (ML) processing. These teachings are applied to the detection of symbols in a stream of symbol blocks. In one or more embodiments, block-based equalization, including feedforward filtering, suppresses inter-block interference and produces detection statistics for the symbols in each symbol block, and joint detection addresses intra-block interference by jointly detecting the most likely combination of symbols within each symbol block, based on the corresponding detection statistics. The joint detection obviates the need to address intra-block interference within the equalization filters, while, at the same time, the block-based equalization produces detection statistics for each symbol block thereby simplifying the joint detection process. Overall complexity is less than would be needed for full MLSE processing of the symbol blocks without equalization preprocessing, while performance is close to or on par with full MLSE processing.
